The Omniscience of Jesus: Mark 14:12-16
“12) On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was being sacrificed, His disciples *said to Him, “Where do You want us to go and prepare for You to eat the Passover?” 13) And He *sent two of His disciples and *said to them, “Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him; 14) and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is My guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?” ’ 15) And he himself will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; prepare for us there.” 16) The disciples went out and came to the city, and found it just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.”Mark 12-26
The way Mark tells this story hints that he may have been one of the two disciples sent on this mission. Jesus told them exactly what to do in the city, and so it happened.
They followed the man with the pitcher into the house and talked to the owner. Sure enough, the owner showed them the upper room where Jesus and His disciples kept the Passover. The room had mostly been prepared for them.
This story emphasizes the omniscience of Jesus. As God, He knows all things. He knows the end from the beginning. He knows every detail. He knew this home owner would serve as the last host for Him and His disciples. He knew that the cross awaited Him just beyond the Passover meal in that room.
He also knows the details of your life and my life. He is a very present help in our time of need.
